Ben Cardin: “The fact is that the Congress passed the CAATSA statute that required sanctions to be imposed.”

It was originally a piece of legislation targeting the people who killed Sergei Magnitsky.

If Putin is so mad about this, probably there will be some other dictators that would not like it as well

Thank you very much for holding this hearing on the implementation of Global Magnitsky sanctions.

We imposed sanctions on the individual.
